Table Level back up and restore for an end user

Vondersmith asked:

We have a legacy application that runs on an AS/400. One of the applications we have allows users to key a batch of transactions and then post them to a ledger. In the AS/400 application we would backup the data that was being posted and the ledger files prior to the post. Then if something is wrong with the data in the batch, the end user has the ability to restore the files and reverse the post of the batch.

I am not seeing an easy translation of this to SQL server. It seems like an ugly requirement, but our users have been spoiled by it in the legacy application.

Any suggestions about how to accomplish this in a Visual Studio/SQL Server environment.
